During the summer of 2010, Mallory Kievman was afflicted with a bad case of the hiccups. She tried many different folk remedies and the hiccups eventually went away. But Mallory figured that there had to be a better way to get rid of the hiccups quickly. So she invented a lollipop that does just that:

She had developed the product in her family’s Manchester, Conn., kitchen, amalgamating her three favorite cures — lollipops, apple cider vinegar and sugar — into a single confection. “It triggers a set of nerves in your throat and mouth that are responsible for the hiccup reflex arc,” said Mallory with a matter-of-fact tone. “It basically over-stimulates those nerves and cancels out the message to hiccup.”

She submitted her invention, dubbed the Hiccupop, to a kids' invention contest and won. Now she's launching a company to market her invention:

Mallory hopes Hiccupops will become a staple of school nurses’ offices and drugstores. She also wants to explore a medical niche, since hiccups are a common and uncomfortable side effect of chemotherapy. “It always has been really appealing to me to be able to sort of have a product out there that can help people,” she said. “I want to become a doctor and go into medicine.”

Nearly all of whatever you say happens to be supprisingly precise and that makes me wonder why I hadn't looked at this with this light before. Your piece really did turn the light on for me as far as this topic goes. Nonetheless at this time there is just one issue I am not too comfortable with and whilst I try to reconcile that with the actual central idea of the position, let me observe just what all the rest of the readers have to say.Well done.
